Wholestyle on the Web: Week of 11/06/09

This week the round up is full of fun surprises – some excellent body-talk, fashion, feminism, food and more! We had so many entries this week (can you say 25 by Tuesday alone?) that it was hard to pare them down to bring you the BEST of wholestyle on the Web!

AND just in case you missed it, the Hive Mind at Bonne Vie (that is – Jaka and the Bird!) had some excellent features on Media Literacy this week – so check them out! The idea is extremely important when you’re reading these (and any!) articles.

So without further ado, on to the fun!
